This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Sunday May 2nd.
Jeff Stephenson reported today that he and a group of Minnesota
birders discovered a ROCK WREN at Split Rock Creek Recreation Area in
Pipestone County. The bird is hanging out among the rocks below the
dam.
A WHITE-FACED IBIS was found by Herb Dingmann in Sherburne County
today. Take U.S. Highway 10 to Sherburne County Road 60, about three
miles northwest of Clear Lake. Turn left on County Road 60, follow it
west for one and a half miles, then right for a quarter mile, then
left again for three-quarters of a mile. Another White-faced Ibis was
seen briefly at the Lewiston sewage ponds in Winona County on the
30th.
At Lake Hanson in Meeker County there were four SNOWY EGRETS on April
29th. The lake is along 580th Avenue about three and a half miles
west of the town of Litchfield.
There were eleven AMERICAN AVOCETS in the marsh one mile west of
Montrose on U.S. Highway 12 in Wright County on the 29th. And
southwest of here were two WILLETS along state highway 7 in McLeod
County. These birds were in a flooded field about a quarter of a mile
west of the Carver County line.
Jim Mattsson reported a RED-THROATED LOON from Dakota County on the
29 of April. This was a flyby at Lebanon Hills Regional Park, and the
location was about half mile northwest of the intersection of Dodd
Road and 120th Street West. Another flyby was the NORTHERN
MOCKINGBIRD reported by Julian Sellers on May 1st from the Weaver
Dunes area in the Whitewater WMA in Winona County. And a Northern
Mockingbird was seen the same day in Austin, Mower County. Dick Smaby
found it along the river on the bike trail east of the intersection
of Main Street South and 9th Place Southwest.
A GREAT GRAY OWL was reported from the Sax-Zim Bog area of St. Louis
County on the 30th. It was seen 100 yards from the south end of Owl
Avenue.
Fifteen species of warbler have been reported to date, including
BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, WILSON'S WARBLER, BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER,
and OVENBIRD. I also have recent reports of SANDERLING, WHITE-RUMPED
SANDPIPER, WILSON'S PHALAROPE, LEAST FLYCATCHER, AMERICAN PIPIT,
